Prior to 2012, the State Senate had only 62 districts, meaning that the 63rd district did not exist until then. However, the new district followed similar lines as the old Buffalo-based 58th district, and it was in fact the 46th district that was entirely new.
District 63 covers parts of Erie County in Western New York, including most of Buffalo and all of Cheektowaga and Lackawanna.[1][4]
The district is located entirely within New York's 26th congressional district, and overlaps with the 141st, 142nd, 143rd, and 149th districts of the New York State Assembly.[5]
